Final answer:
True, healthcare providers can administer adenosine to a patient with regular, narrow-complex SVT or monomorphic Vtach who is not hypotensive, while preparing for cardioversion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is True. If a patient is experiencing a regular, narrow-complex Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) or monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (Vtach) and is not hypotensive, healthcare providers may administer adenosine as an initial treatment. Adenosine is given while preparations for electrical cardioversion are underway. The goal of administering adenosine is to temporarily block the AV node and reset the heart rhythm, potentially converting the rhythm back to normal sinus rhythm without the need for cardioversion. However, if adenosine is ineffective and the patient's condition deteriorates or if the arrhythmia is life-threatening, synchronized cardioversion is indicated.
